Three members of the five-member board were present at the meeting, and they voted unanimously in favor of the settlement agreement.

The Susquehanna Township Authority is set to meet at 11 a.m. Friday to consider it.

The Harrisburg Authority and the receiver on behalf of the city also must approve the settlement.

The agreement would settle a 2012 claim by officials in several municipalities and municipal authorities that the city overcharged them to the tune of $25 million for sewage treatment provided by The Harrisburg Authority.

If approved, the settlement is expected to reimburse the entities in annual installments totaling $11.225 million between now and 2019, Scott Wyland, special counsel to the suburban municipalities, had said.

Wyland had described the pending agreement as “a formal written expression of the repayment obligation that was in the approved Harrisburg Strong Plan,” referring to the debt restructuring plan developed by the Office of the Receiver overseeing Harrisburg's financial recovery.

The suburbs' settlement is just one of that plan's components. They also include the $400 million-plus monetization of Harrisburg's parking system and incinerator.
